I can see the advantages and disadvantages of both sides. I have heard some of my clients bitch and moan about being beholden to one vendor. At the same time, I've heard others complain about being caught in the vast netherworld that exists among different vendors. The grass is always greener, I suppose. Great post. Phil Ray

I am more concerned by the lock-in factor and the tightly-coupled inflexibility of the model than I am by the somewhat greater overhead of a loosely-coupled best-of-breed mix ... that "one throat to choke" quickly starts to swallow your wallet ...
